Fwd: [Vegetarian Friends] The May issue of The Peaceable Table is now online

In this issue:

* With this issue we launch an irregular column to be entitled
"Glimpses of the Peaceable Kingdom," stories of extraordinary cross-
species relationships of love and friendship. PT has occasionally
featured such accounts in the past, but our Guest Editorial this month
tells a particularly wonderful story of a reptile and a mammal. Read
it and tell us what you think.

* The NewsNote tells of a fine bonobo sanctuary that has been opened
in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

* Bonobos, together with other animals and birds, are also featured
in the Essay Review of "Minds of Their Own," lead article in the March
'08 National Geographic.

* In the Film Review, we learn of some surprising analogies between
the situation of the hero of Horton Hears a Who! and that of animal
advocates.

* A recipe for delicious tsimmes, encountered at a Passover Seder,
appears in this month's Recipe column.

* The May "Pilgrim" is attorney and author Lee Hall, legal advisor of
Friends of Animals.

* Our Pioneer and Poet is another worthy from ancient Rome, the
lighthearted and sometimes ribald poet Ovid, who in this excerpt from
Metamorphoses (with translation) reveals a serious side.

We always welcome comments, suggestions, and submissions.

Peace to all,
Gracia Fay Ellwood
Editor

These photos were sent to me in email today. These are of a pair of albino deer and were apparently taken near Karlstad, MN. I thought I'd share them with everyone here on Gather.

Albinos are rare, but twins have to be really rare!

Here you can see Dad ( or maybe big brother) keeping watch in the background.

Ihave a feeling these were taken with a motion sensing camera posted near the feeding station. A rare shot of albino twin deer at any rate! A real treat Mother Nature provided us with! C):-)

“BE LOVING AND GIVING”

“BE LOVING AND GIVING”
BY ANN PRATLEY – IN 1977
Beloved late wife of Steven Pratley from Mablethorpe, Lincs,
- A friend of the “One Earth Vision and Mission”.

1. Be loving and giving,
To all creatures living,
Let none die in pain or in fear.
For on land, sea or air,
All the animals share,
In man’s equal rights to be here.

2. Starving dogs on a chain,
Injured cats in the rain,
Pets neglected, ill treated alone.
Take man’s blindness away,
Let us work for the day,
All men share, with their pets, a good home.

3. For the battery hen,
For the pigs in the pen,
For the calf, doomed to die on the farm.
Compassion we ask,
Let us make it our task,
To protect all farm creatures from harm.

4. Let us all say a prayer,
For the fox and the hare,
And for all creatures hunted for sport.
May all hunting cease,
And those creatures know peace,
As man gives them the freedom he ought.

5. And we have to ask WHY?
Creatures suffer and die,
As science proceeds in its quests.
Let there be more protection,
Against vivisection,
And end all the animal tests.

6. For the whales in the seas,
Or the apes in the trees,
Or all creatures in lands every where.
Let them stay wild and free,
For our children to see,
For their future is put in our care.

7. Extinct is forever,
So it’s now or never,
Protect what is wild, let it live!
All over the earth,
Let men prove his worth,
And learn not to take but to give.

8. Be loving and giving,
To all creatures living,
United, remain to the end.
Let us all work and pray,
For that wonderful day,
All species know man as their friend.
